Whatever happened to that Numa Numa kid? Glad you asked.

Viral video pioneer Gary Brolsma (left) is back in action with a legitimate gig--pitching Bluetooth iPod headphones. Brolsma shot to Internet stardom in 2004 in a lip-synching, arms-pumping video he made of himself to the tune of a Romanian pop song.

Now, after two years of shunning of the viral spotlight ("I was pretty much overwhelmed"), Brolsma will appear in a commercial video called New Numa set to be released Sept. 8, according to MCT news service.

You want a piece of the action? Marketing firm Jaeter Corp. is offering a $45,000 prize for the best fan video it receives.
